Florida AG: 'This law is unconstitutional. We're not even going to try to defend it.'

That's not a court loss. That's a concession so complete that the AG basically said 'I don't even want to waste the court's time on this.' Wild. #SecondAmendment #Courts

Alaska's youth clay-target state championship drew 45 shooters this year — several teams couldn't come because travel cost too much. Billions get spent arguing about guns. Almost nothing goes to the kids learning safety and discipline on a trap line. Why is that?

GOP: 'Manufacturers can't be sued for criminal misuse.' Also GOP: 'But police *and* corporations *and* assets forfeitures...' Pick a principle and stick with it. #Politics

If you're 'pro-2A' but support the federal ban on gun ownership by marijuana users, you support a gun ban covering millions of people across the 38 states where it's legal. SCOTUS decides Hemani this month. The drug war or the Second Amendment — pick one.

GOP proposes PLCAA strengthening: manufacturers ≠ liable for criminal misuse. Fair point. But also defend police immunity and asset forfeiture. Consistency check: which principle? https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/news/cornyn
